US Patent 7586127 Light emitting diode

An LED can include a pair of electrode members, an LED chip joined on top of a chip mounting portion disposed at an end of one of the pair of electrode members. The LED chip can be electrically connected to both of the pair of electrode members, and a clear resin portion can be formed to surround the LED chip. The clear resin portion can include a wavelength converting material mixed therein, wherein the LED chip emits ultraviolet, blue, or green light, and wherein the wavelength converting material mixed in the clear resin portion converts light from the LED chip to green and red light that is longer in wavelength than the originally emitted light from the LED chip.
